    I'm glad you and Hog Farmer partnered up on the spunk shad because between the 2 you can really find any color you need! I love the spunk shad and I believe they are the best bladed jig trailer ever made, the action is crazy and doesn't take away from the bladed jigs natural action!

    Great add ons!! I was wondering how the Whooper compares to the SPRO Cyclone Prop Jr? The Crossover is a sweet invention!! A must for sure!! It's just figuring out the right size to use that is tough. Gotta remember that for the Jack Hammer!!

    @DavidMccallister65 Před rokem

    I started with the plop plop but I switched to the Choppo because I like the harder plastic tail. It last longer than the softer one on the plop plop. That one gets worn out and starts rolling and causes line twist.

    @bassnerd4918 Před rokem

    I’ve caught more bass on a fluke than I have any other bait on the market. I remember when I first started fishing it. I was probably 12 years old and was at the spillway of my local lake trying to catch walleye and hybrid striped bass. And I was using a lipless with no luck and an older gentleman was there and gave me a pack of white flukes. I put one on. And instantly started catching fish and the rest is history.

    John - what size feather hook are you using on the back of the Whopper Plopper - size 4?
    I know you said the front was a 3 but the back one looks a bit smaller?
    I like the extra ring idea also - THANKS!

  • @HeavenlySnipez
    @HeavenlySnipez Před rokem

    Can either John, or someone in the comments explain something to me quick? Why is John using a swivel with a leader for the fluke? Is it because it effects the action a certain way? Why not just tie on the hook directly to your line? Thanks!
